A dual-wheel valve stem stabilizing clip (20) that is used for immobilizing a reverse-mounted valve (40) mounted on dual truck wheels (28). The clip consists of pair of U-shaped spring brackets (22), with each including an S-shaped outer distal end (24). The brackets are positioned on top of each other with the outer distal ends at opposite extremities. A number of adjustment holes (26) in each bracket align together to permit a variation in overall length. A spring doubler shim (32) that is configured in a U-shape and is sandwiched on top of each spring bracket to provide additional rigidity to the spring brackets. A valve stem cushion (38) is compressed within brackets and shims and receives and secures the valve on an inner wheel of dual truck wheels. Threaded fasteners attach the brackets and shims together to form a clip capable of being manually bent in an arc shape and snapped into a hand hole (30) of an outer truck wheel rim in order to stabilize the valve stem installed on an inner truck wheel rim.
